New Kotare product - Spitfire (and Hurricane) exhausts

[Pete Roberts]

Just got word that Kotare have added a new product - 3D printed exhausts for later Mk Ia (mid and late), II and Va/b (mid and late) aircraft, also applicable to some Hurricanes.

An interesting illustration in the email shows the very subtle difference between 2 types.

I would have never noticed ...

Thanks for the heads-up Peter and the reference image Mike. 

 

Something to add to the list.

Just checked my two boxings (early and mid) for the 3D exhausts that came with them and yes, they are different. 

Even the VERY fine weld lines are different.

I'm just finishing off a manuscript relating to the Battle of Britain and have covered some of the changes to the Spitfire Mk I. I am tossing up about including this, but how far does one go? There is a multitude of changes across Spitfire production, some of which were applied to existing aircraft and some that were not. It is mind boggling.

 

I think I have adopted a new mantra now - it's only a model....
